'Congress Is New Muslim League': BJP Slams INC After Video Of Chandivali Candidate Naseem Khan's Poster Stuck On Ganpati Picture Goes Viral
The BJP Amit Malviya saw the incident as the Congress party's attempt to appease Muslim voters.

The Bharatiya Janata Party's Amit Malviya on Thursday attacked the Congress party on X, sharing a viral video that showed a poster of Naseem Khan, Congress candidate from Mumbai's Chandivali constituency, stuck on a picture of Lord Ganesha.
Hitting out at the Congress party, Malviya called it 'the new Muslim League'.
Malviya accused the Congress party of insulting the Hindu community and said, 'Ganpati Bappa is revered as Vighnharta (Remover of Obstacles) and Maharashtrians, among others, have a deep emotional attachment to the deity. We have all seen the massive celebrations in Mumbai during Ganeshotsav,' he added.
The BJP leader saw the incident as the Congress party's attempt to appease Muslim voters. 'This act of defiling Ganpati Bappa is premeditated and meant as a signal to Muslims in the region to vote for the Congress. Mumbai is seeing the worst kind of Vote Jihad since partition. Congress is the new Muslim League,' he said.
